What am I?I am rated at 1600 hp. produced by an 8 cylinder diesel engine.I was designed to be a mainline freight hauler.I was produced for only three years in the early 1950s. Only three railroads purchased me new from the manufacturer, but production was still a total of 109 units.I am a unique looking unit, although not the first locomotine with this look since people often confuse my older 1500 hp brother to be me.
H-16-44?
Naw cant be that was from 1950 to 1963....

Could be a Baldwin RF16 A unit.

My Locomotive is fairly rare also with only 86 total units made. It was a Cowl in the era of the hood unit. ONly three railroads purchased the model new, but some have been resold and have become very popular among railfans. They were produced between 1968 and 1971, and you will be able to purchase a model of this diesel in the near future.

How about one of these?
This is an F45.
Just one problem. These are already available. This is an old Athearn. But I know what you mean, that they are being retooled and re-released.

Yes, it is the F45.
You were first.

This shouldn't be too hard.
I was built as a demonstrator in the '50s. I ran on the Virginian, the New Haven, and the Great Northern for my builder before I settled down to work on the PRR along side some of my sisters who were built for the Pennsy. On the PRR I almost never ran alone and I was usually MUed to a different model of locomotive, not one of my sisters.

That's a Pennsylvania E-2b AC Traction Motor Electric Locomotive if I've ever seen one!
That would be a PRR E-2b. Built by GE. There were six and were commonly used in three pairs. Like most PRR electrics, they were straight AC-powered, without rectifiers. They could work in multiple with PRR locomotives, usually P5as.

It's a KCS 2-8-8-0. Unfortunately, I don't remember the class.
Edit. It's a G-2.

You are the Ingalls Shipbuilding Model 4-S, built in 1946 with a 1500 hp diesel engine. Gulf Mobile and Ohio numbered you 1900. You were the only thing like it on the rails.

What am I?On my maiden run before being put in regular survice I impressed the railroads officials by producing a drawbar horsepower of more than twice the 4-6-4 class, and more than even the 4-8-4 locomotives I was replacing. Later, on the same run because the engineer wasn't familiar with how I loaded down, I stalled on the routes only 3.5% grade with 1182 tons of train behind me. Everyone thought they were going to have to call for a helper unit, but I impressed them again by digging in (producing 108,000 lbs of drawbar pull) and getting the train moving to 16mph by the top of the hill.
